Not the Best Bible Storybook - My Review of My Little Life of Jesus

Published by: Lion Hudson

Written by: Karen Williamson

Illustrated by: Amanda Enright

I received another children’s book to review, My Little Life of Jesus.

The story:

This book tells the story of Jesus from his birth to his death and resurrection.

The illustrations:

The pictures in this book are simple and kind of cute.

How strong is the book?

This book is padded and relatively sturdy.

Who the book is for:

This book is a padded book, so I was expecting it to be a board book. It’s not, however. I would recommend this book for preschoolers.

What I liked:

This book tells a lot of the details about Jesus’ life that other books don’t tell.

What I didn’t like:

The book mentions that Mary was “happy” when expecting Jesus – I have never heard that one before.

The book is kind of arranged and written poorly.

My conclusion:

I wasn’t a big fan of this book.

I give My Little Life of Jesus 3 out of 5 stars.

I thought that the story of At Home in Last Chance sounded really interesting, so I was happy to receive the chance to read and review it. This book is about a young woman who is reconnecting with her daughter and trying to turn her life around in a small town.

Parts of the story are interesting and enjoyable to read…

What I didn’t like:

But, some of the book is really boring, and some of the characters aren’t likeable at all.

My conclusion:

Overall, I wasn’t a big fan of this book.

I give At Home in Last Chance 3 out of 5 stars.
